ITA with you on HIMYM. Before tonight, I would've assumed that Ted would break up with Stella, not the other way around, but as soon as Stella started talking about how she waited so long for her ex to want to get married and he never did, it was like a big flashing neon sign shouting that Stella wasn't over her ex.
So he's doing the next best thing, he's trying to make it all about sex so that he can still be the cool, confident Barney. So Barney, so in character. Yeah, I kinda loved that.
So, I think it was her way of doing something about Barney-related feelings (and this is the first sign that we've gotten that Robin *DOES* have Barney-related feelings) without actually acknowledging that they are honest-to-God feelings. I hadn't really thought about it like that, but that does make sense. I have wondered how she feels about that time they slept together - if she really doesn't feel anything for him beyond physical attraction, or if it's just that she doesn't think he'd ever be interested in anything other than being a booty
( ... )
Honestly, I didn't really think of how they would break up, I just wanted them to break up, period. So I'm glad Stella is gone. YAY!
I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who saw the Robin scene this way because all I'm reading anywhere is people saying 'Oh, Barney, you screwed up!' with no one really looking into Robin's motivation.
I agree wholeheartedly with your posts re Mother. I really did enjoy the show last night and you're right in your analysis of why Robin getting together with Barney would have hurt their relationship. But I still wanted it! Hee!
I'm so relieved that the Stella/Ted storyline is finally over!! I loved the speech Robin gave to Ted!! And man, yet he still didn't see the wrongness in his action and all the rush in getting married way too quickly. So, I'm glad, that Stella was the one "ending it".
I also loved the shot at the end, when one by one, all of Ted's friends showed up, read the letter, and stood by his side. Even Barney showed his support. :)
Totally agree about HIMYM's soapy ending -- I think they could've done without the flashbacks to Stella's speech...all you had to do was see her and her ex to remember what she said.
I was hoping for more funny, but it was still well-done. :)
